Most Pythonic way to fit a variable to a range? [duplicate]

Question

Is there a more Pythonic way to achieve this:

result = #...real value from elsewhere
max_value = 1
min_value = 0
if result > max_value:
    result = max_value
elif result < min_value:
    result = min_value
return result

Not sure how to explain it in words so I hope it's clear. Thanks

Answer 1

You can use the min and max functions:

result = min(max_value, max(min_value, result))
